According to the reporter's records, National Highway 1, the section passing through Trang Bom commune, experienced a long traffic jam from the toll station to Tra Co intersection, Binh Minh commune, making it very difficult for vehicles to travel.
People said that after the National Day holiday on September 2, people and vehicles from the Central and Central Highlands provinces and tourist destinations such as Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, Da Lat... continued to flock to National Highway 1, causing this road to be congested for a long time.
As of 7pm on September 2, the traffic was still congested. From the intersection between National Highway 1, vehicles follow the Bien Hoa bypass to return to Ho Chi Minh City.
A driver shared that because he was afraid of traffic jams after the holidays, he and his family returned to Ho Chi Minh City from Lam Dong early, but had not yet returned home but still participated in the traffic jam on National Highway 1, through Trang Bom commune.
Meanwhile, the Phan Thiet - Dau Giay Expressway Management Unit, the section passing through Dong Nai province, is verifying information about a series of traffic accidents involving many cars, making traffic on this expressway increasingly difficult.
Previously, since the afternoon of September 2, thousands of vehicles have been congested in Ho Chi Minh City, causing a long traffic jam on the Dau Giay - Phan Thiet and Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressways.
